Regenwise, you will be surprised at how much of the work the meki pedant part is already doing with existing aura. The extra chalice effect just pushes it over the top for very cheap.

In my experience, if you are already getting a flat mana item on top of your meki pedant based item (whatever it is), it's very, very hard to practically run out of mana, making chalice mana regen overflow on but a few select heroes. Bot lane it's slightly different because on one hand, you might be spending a lot more mana per life against strong pushers and because you have access to the medkit.

TLDR experiment. On some heroes in some situations chalice is awesome, on other heroes/situations chalice is still awesome but "you could spend your gold better in other way" awesome.

It's not enough for Anivia.

For heavy duty mana spam, the answer is Archangels. 25 MP5 + 1000 mana is impossible to match for slot. The primary downside is loss of survivability .

It used to be a meh item, but the upgraded chalice is a really good item. With Abyssal getting a nerf, it may even be the better item option for mres and AP on most mages. Tanks are mostly unaffected by the abyssal nerf though.
